8. Local Planning Assessment
    8.1.    Introduction

    The proposed development requires assessment against the provisions of the Noosa Plan and any
    relevant codes, overlays and local planning area instruments. The following sections demonstrate
    compliance with these regulations.


    8.2.    Planning Area, Precinct and Precinct Class

   The site is identified in the Noosa Plan as being situated in within the Eastern Beaches Locality and is
   zoned as Detaching Housing and Semi-Attached Housing (see Figure 8.2 below).

        An assessment of the proposal against the desired character for the Eastern Beaches Locality is
        outlined below.

        Physical Setting
        The Eastern Beaches Locality is situated in the eastern part of the Noosa and includes the
        coastal communities of Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Castaways Beach, Marcus Beach and
        Peregian Beach. The locality is essentially an elongated nodal development stretching along the
        David Low Way beside the coast, with boundaries generally defined by—
            Noosa National Park in the north;
            The Pacific Ocean in the east;
            The former Shire boundary in the south; and
            Mary Ann Drive, Win Road, Clarendon Road, Lake Weyba and Noosa National Park in
                the west.

        The locality is based on a complex dune system, forming protected valleys and exposed ridges
        leading to the Pacific Ocean or wetlands on the shores of Lake Weyba. In the north, the rocky
        outcrop of Noosa Heads forms the foundation of the dune system. Drainage systems form deep
        depressions between the dunes and define the boundaries between the communities that have
